Verge3D Folder Structure
Here is a low-level reference on the Verge3D folder layout. It can be useful for administrative tasks, installing third-party plugins or templates, performing a clean uninstallation, or resolving issues. For general usage, the only thing that you should be concerned about is the structure of your own projects.
Installation Folder
This is where the Verge3D software is installed (aka root folder).
Verge3D for Blender
Default installation folder on Windows (can be specified by the user in the installer):
C:\Program Files\Verge3D_for_Blender
Installation folder on macOS (hard-coded in the installer):
/Users/USER/Applications/Verge3D for Blender
Installation folder on Linux is where you unpack the .xz distribution, e.g.:
/home/USER/verge3d_blender
Verge3D for 3ds Max
Default installation folder on Windows (can be specified by the user in the installer):
C:\Program Files\Verge3D_for_3dsMax
Verge3D for Maya

/Users/USER/Documents/verge3d_apps

Configuration Folder
This is where Verge3D configurations (e.g. App Manager settings) and temporary files are stored. You might try to remove the corresponding configuration folder in the following cases:
- The App Manager stopped working correctly.
- You have issues with Verge3D licensing.
- You need to perform a clean uninstallation, since the Verge3D uninstaller does not touch the user's configs.
